BTW, any chance you and the husband are free for dinner Friday night? I was thinking Macaroni Grill (or some other pasta focused place). @Calie, my goal is under 6 hours. Last year I had two disastrous flat tires and finish in 6:24 (or so). The first flat cost me 18 minutes, as I found out I didn't have a pump and had to wait for a neutral support person. Last year there were people finishing in just over 4 hrs. The top 1000 finished in 5:38. Last place (4089) finished in 11:30. Last year I was finisher 1774, so I was in the top half. @Kelley, thanks!

Sounds like you've been training very hard. Good luck next weekend. Out of curiosity, how long does this type of race usually take to complete? BTW - I really like your writing/blogging style. Kudos to you! WOW, Steve. Sounds like you’ve been training very hard. Good luck next weekend. Out of curiosity, how long does this type of race usually take to complete?

So you're already pretty cool in my book. Good luck! From the non-rider perspective, I think it’s awesome that people even attempt to do the el tour. So you’re already pretty cool in my book.
